To celebrate the release of "Villain", the band has just announced today they will be releasing their upcoming album 'Reflections' on April 17th via Better Noise Music. "Villain" is the band's first release since their single "Drag Me". You can stream the music video to "Villain" below.
“‘Villain’ is a story about the magnetic pull between two people who know better, but dive in anyway... It’s the moment when desire outweighs consequences, when you choose the chaos you swear you shouldn’t want, and the ‘bad guy’ becomes the one voice you can’t quiet. The song leans into that dark, intoxicating tension where temptation feels like truth, danger feels like comfort, and the line between thrill and destruction disappears. It’s not about saving each other…it’s about surrendering to the part of yourself you pretend doesn’t exist.”
-Matt Brandyberry
